Question

I’m using this method to calculate distance between 2 coordinates

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/phpsqlsearch.html#findnearsql

for example i have two coordinates(lat and lng)

first coordinate: 37, -122
second coordinate:37.386337, -122.085823

I get this distance 27.1097282198804(miles) between these coordinates by using the method above.

Please tell me any way to verify this distance?

Answer 1

You can also use the Google Maps API Geometry Library.

firstLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(37,-122);
secondLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(37.386337, -122.085823);
distance = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(firstLatLng,secondLatLng);
